Fine Point Associates put together a report, sponsored by Boston Main Streets, taking a look at commercial leasing and market conditions in Boston's neighborhoods as compared to select locations in the Greater Boston Area.

In this study, three types of real estate are looked at: retail, office, and collaborative work-space. Trends, market conditions, price-determining factors, how space is typically classified/categorized, and various types of lease instruments are reviewed. Commercial rental pricing and other market conditions are presented for thirteen Boston Main Street Districts, three neighborhood business districts in Somerville and Brookline, and the major sub-markets in Boston and Cambridge (Back Bay, Downtown Crossing/Financial District, Seaport, Kendall Square and Harvard Square).
